Bennettsbridge parish graveyard is close to capacity and may run out of grave space in the next year.
“There is concern in the community, in families, where they are going to go when they pass away,” said Cllr Patrick O’Neill raising the issue at the recent meeting of Callan Thomastown Municipal District councillors.
Cllr O’Neill said the matter had been raised in the past. “We tried over the years but the parish didn’t want to push it, we presented options but they didn’t want to do it,” he said, adding that this is a big concern for people in the area.
